[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 218047, member: 2693"] Fear not. ALL new rifle brass is annealed when it comes from the factory. It is unnecessary to re-anneal it before loading. The reason the Rem brass looks uniform is b/c it is acid washed before final inspection. This holds true for all American made brass. This is a consumer issue. Lapua brass would look the same too if acid washed, or even tumbled for a few hours prior to loading. Some anneal after every firing. It is debatable whether or not this is necessary, but using deductive reasoning from what is known, it makes sense to do so. I would anneal after the first firing of each new case after you have cleaned it and before it is resized. Then I would probably not worry about it for 3-5 firings per case. For the second, and any consecutive annealings, I would do it after the case has been cleaned, sized, and trimmed. [/QUOTE]
